In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, Metita Resort stands out as an eco-friendly resort with big goals. Nestled in a pristine tropical island setting, the resort is dedicated to preserving the natural environment while offering guests an unforgettable vacation experience. Read on to see what you can expect on the island as an Eco-Conscious Traveler.
Commitment to Sustainability
At Metita Resort, sustainability is woven into every aspect of the guest experience. From eco-conscious architecture to responsible tourism practices, the resort ensures minimal impact on the surrounding environment while maximizing guest comfort.
Eco-Friendly Architecture
The resort’s buildings were designed to blend harmoniously with nature. Constructed using locally sourced materials such as bamboo, reclaimed wood, and natural stone, our carbon footprint stays very low while supporting local craftsmen and suppliers.
Renewable Energy & Water Conservation
A portion of Metita’s energy needs is supplied by solar panels, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. We hope to expand this further in the future to make Metita a carbon neutral resort. Afterall, this region is ideal for harnessing the power of the sun.
The resort also utilises rainwater harvesting with advanced filtration systems. These collect and purify rainwater, ensuring sustainable water usage throughout the resort. The installation of water-saving showers, sinks, and toilets helps minimize water waste as well.
Waste Management & Plastic Reduction
Metita Resort follows a strict waste reduction policy, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Our waste is carefully sorted, with organic materials composted for gardening and recyclables processed responsibly.
We have also been able to eliminate single-use plastics by offering guests reusable bottles, bamboo straws, and biodegradable toiletries. All packaging we use in the resort from food containers to toiletries, is made from sustainable and biodegradable materials.
Locally Sourced & Organic Dining
In the restaurant there is a strong commitment to sustainability. Ingredients are sourced from local farms and nearby fishing communities to ensure fresh, seasonal, and nutritious meals. To make sure the seafood we use is sustainable, the resort partners with local fishermen who follow ethical fishing practices to protect marine biodiversity.
In the kitchen our cooks practice zero-waste cooking. This means kitchen scraps are minimized through careful meal planning and composting.
Marine Conservation & Eco-Tourism
Metita Resort is actively involved in marine conservation efforts, ensuring the protection of its stunning underwater ecosystem. This is what our guests come for afterall.
Ensuring the excursions are sustainable is incredibly important. Boat tours and water activities are designed to have minimal impact on marine life and guests are educated on responsible snorkeling and diving practices to prevent reef damage.
The resort also collaborates with local conservation organizations to protect endangered species and support reforestation projects.
Community Engagement & Ethical Tourism
Beyond environmental efforts, Metita Resort believes in uplifting the local community by prioritizing the hiring of local staff and providing fair wages. This allows guests to meet local people and, hopefully in the future, participate in community-led experiences, such as traditional cooking classes and craft workshops.
Metita Resort also aims to be able to give a portion of the resort’s revenue towards funding local schools and conservation education programs.
A stay at Metita Resort is more than just a vacation. it’s an opportunity to embrace sustainable travel without compromising on comfort. Whether you’re exploring vibrant coral reefs, enjoying farm-to-table style cuisine, or simply relaxing in an eco-conscious villa, every aspect of your stay contributes to a greener future.
Metita Resort aims to be part of a movement that values nature, culture, and responsible travel. We hope you will be part of this movement with us.
